SAVOIR FAIRE: Hotel barge for 12 passengers
The 12-passenger Savoir Faire (formerly "Etoile de Champagne") was built in 1932 as a Belgian transport barge. Converted into a hotel barge in 1979 she was substantially refurbished for the beginning of the 2005 season. Her six staterooms offer luxurious accommodation for 12 passengers who are attentively catered for by 6 English-speaking crew. The salon, dining area, and bar are finished in mahogany, teak and brass, decorated with antiques and paintings. Two spacious decks offer magnificent views of the countryside.

GUEST FEEDBACK April 18th to 24th, 2010
"The food, service and journey aboard the Savoir Faire were all first class! The weather was stunning as the evidence of Spring was visually surrounding us all the time. Our chef, Eddy provided meals fit for a Royal Court. Chris's attentiveness was seamless. His wine and cheese knowledge superb! Dean's tours were absolutely right on the mark. He could easily teach the History of Holland at university level. Captain Chris makes all this happen with effortless perfection.
So a special thank you to all. Since we can't take you all home we'll just have to join you on another cruise!"
